In response to North Carolina’s recent move to repeal LGBT protections and bar trans people from using bathrooms corresponding to their gender, Funny or Die has made this suggested ad for North Carolina tourism:
The census needs to represent a broader spectrum of physical/biological sex than a male/female binary, but this is not the only space where sex, gender, and sexuality are defined by the Canadian state through the census.
North Carolina’s HB 2 and other similar laws aren’t just about restrooms. They’re about the right of trans individuals to exist in peace. Or to exist at all.
